lomvuho Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 This my first insect made in A:M 11.0. Continuation follows... I Ask your remarks and wishes. Thanks. Quote
DarkLimit Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 Very nice Grasshopper model I like it... I just think the leafs could use some tweaking..... maybe give them a more organic appearence..... thanks for sharing..... Quote
Admin Rodney Posted December 24, 2004 Admin Posted December 24, 2004 Lom, Looks good to me. Two things I'd recommend. You may not need that many splines to get the same model. (An artistic choice and I don't think in your case it would interfere with animation either way). Example: At the head and radiating out from the eye I think you could easily cut the splines in half. The grasshoppers I remember examining when I was a kid weren't as short as the one you made. I'm sure there are all kinds and sizes though. After you go final on this one perhaps you can make a variation that is longer. (I'm talking in the back section. I like him. Do you have plans to swarm him in an animation or is this for a still image? Quote

Do you have plans to swarm him in an animation or is this for a still image? I agree with this comment. It would look more "real" if the abdomen was longer. Your model so far is very easily recognized as a grasshopper but i think that it could use a few tweeks and details, like the detail level of the legs. There are plenty of grasshopper images to be had from a google images search Quote
rossk Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 This my second insect made in A:M 11.0. Continuation follows... Thanks. Yeah, that looks good. Just those tiny changes turned it into a nicely modeled grasshopper. Congrats Quote
lomvuho Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 The first stages of texturing. Thanks. Quote
Zaryin Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Yeah, this one is definately better than your first try. Excellent. Quote
modernhorse Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Very nice!!!! bravo! I'll second that ! Doug Quote
Zaryin Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 That turned out great. The specular seems a little to flat with no bump or anything in it. Other than that it's nearly real. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted December 30, 2004 Admin Posted December 30, 2004 The dreaded "me too" post but have to say that looks nice. Good enough to eat.... errr..... Nice Bug! Quote
MarkusAralius382 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Good enough to eat.... errr..... Its funny that you mentioned that because just recently I ate a grasshoper for a couple of dollars. IT WASNT WORTH IT, lol it tasted SOoooo bad . Quote
Vash Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 If I didn't know, I'd say that was a real grasshopper! Quote
lomvuho Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 I have made some changes concerning illumination and back legs Quote
DarkLimit Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 This Def looks better.... good job on the render..... Quote
kuep Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 I like him. Do you have plans to swarm him in an animation or is this for a still image? Nice work, i didnt see a response if you were going to animate him or her! Quote
jamagica Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 if you adjust the lighting on the grasshopper a bit darker to match in with the shadows, it'd almost look real! Quote
lomvuho Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 2kuep I'm sorry. Yes of course, but a bit later. After making rig, esspecialy for this insect. Quote
